I have seen no claim to such success.  Should you not be talking to the
provider of Artifactory?  They do seem to claim that it can't fail...

I don't think this will help you.  You need to set up your own private
mirror first.  If you set this option, I believe that it will change
the way that the files are downloaded to something more like what the
ClamAV people consider to be an abusive client - so you should only
set it after you have set up your own private mirror, and then only
download the files to the systems which run ClamAV from that mirror.

Having said that I've never used a private mirror so YMMV.
